High Profile Divorces

There is another approach to saving your marriage, which is definitely 'not' advocated by Relate.

According to recent research by extramarital affairs website AshleyMadison.com, 88% of men and 91% of women polled admitted a 'discreet affair' salvaged their relationship.

But could an affair really make your marriage stronger?

"People don’t pursue an affair at the drop of a hat,” Noel Biderman, founder of AshleyMadison.com told HuffPost Lifestyle.

“Married people know that sex isn't the most important thing in a marriage, and they aren't going to simply or quickly leave. But crucially, many also aren't willing to settle for abstinence for the rest of their lives, so that's when they look for an external solution."

“Cheating on one’s other half, discreetly or otherwise, leads to a breakdown in mutual trust and even if the innocent partner never knows what the other is up to, the bonds have been broken and so the relationship suffers in other ways,” Chase told HuffPost Lifestyle.
